“Ian did an amazing job watching Crew while we were away. Throughout every step of the process he was communicative and exceptionally prompt! He asked great questions about our dog's care before we left and reached out to us while watching him with updates and pictures. When we met in person, it was clear Ian and Crew got along great. Wonderful experience, we will use Ian again!”
About: I've been around dogs since the day I was born. My Father was the K9 officer throughout middle school and high school so I learned how to train and handle dogs from watching and attending the police training programs. I've had dogs of my own for the last 17 years, and am currently a proud dog mom to an amazing 5 year old Sheltie and 9 year old Labrador, who get along very well with other dogs. I work from home, so I'm able to be around to monitor your pup while at my place constantly. If I do head out while sitting at my house, it's usually only for a few hours at a time and the dogs will remain separated. I have a fenced in back yard with plenty of rooms for the dogs to run, play and just be dogs. I'm adaptable to your dogs needs for food, sleep, and play time. I'm able to take the dogs on extended walks around the neighborhood, and also make sure they get ample exercise running around the back yard during their stay. Lots of pictures can be provided, as I know it's a comfort knowing your dog is loved when you're not around! :) I work from home so I have an incredibly flexible schedule and am always around. If I do leave the house, the dogs will be separated and never left alone together. For first time visitors, pets are slowly introduced to both my dogs and children. They are constantly monitored and will always have a set of eyeballs on them.
About: Hi! I’m a college student with 7+ years of hands-on animal experience, My family house has 6 dogs and I grew up surrounded by pets my whole life. Dogs and cats have always been a huge part of my life, and I genuinely love giving them attention, care, and comfort while their owners are away. I’m deaf, which has actually made me incredibly observant and attentive with pets. I’m very visually aware, patient, and always present with pets to make sure they’re safe, comfortable, and cared for at all times. Your pets will always have my full attention, love, and supervision! I have references if needed. Taking care of pets is my full-time job as a college student home for the breaks. I enjoy taking care of pets at home, at the dog park, walking around with dogs, and making sure they have a fun time. I care for pets by following their routine and instructions given by owners, ensuring food, water, walks, and playtime, while keeping them safe, calm, and comfortable in my home.
About: I’ve lived with cats my whole life but have taken care of pets on and off for family and friends! I’m a full time nanny so care is my specialty! I’m available for boarding on weekends but on weekdays I work full time. Always reach out though, my schedule is ever changing and I am always down to make things work! I have a big unfenced yard with a creek for your fur baby to have some fun! There are parks near by for walking! When it comes to cats, I have my own room with a big window looking out at the creek to keep them away from my roommates two cats!
“Bayley did a great job with all 3 of our dogs! She came over in the morning for breakfast; as we needed help because our reg dog-sitter's schedule changed. She jumped right in and was very flexible! Def will use Bayley again!!”
“I hate leaving my boys, as I’m sure most pet parents would agree. But Brandon and his wife took such good care of my babies. He reported in twice a day with pictures. They always looked happy in the pics, and were obviously well taken care of. I will definitely contact Brandon again when the need arises.”
About: Hi! My name is Alex and I'm a lifelong animal lover! I’ve had dogs all my life but learned so much more when I started fostering in 2014. Over the years, I’ve raised four dogs of my own, fostered 8 dogs for three different rescue organizations in Kentucky and Ohio, and continue to volunteer with local rescues. Animals have always been a huge part of my life, and I genuinely love getting to know each pet as an individual—whether they’re energetic puppies, mellow seniors, or anywhere in between. I work second shift during the week and occasional Saturday’s. This gives me time in the morning to work with the pups and get them nice and tired for an afternoon nap! Crate training is an important part of my philosophy with dogs and I try to make sure they’re comfortable and safe. Your pet will stay in a safe, loving home that has a fully fenced back yard for secure outdoor time. I also have spare rooms if your pup needs space and time away from others when in new environment is needed or if they do not do well with stairs. We have three friendly resident dogs: Auggie (12 years old Staffy mix) Sgetti (5 years old husky/shepard mix), and Fern (7 months old rough coat American hunt terrier). I carefully manage interactions to ensure everyone is comfortable and safe, and I will always prioritize your pet’s routine and needs. Whether your pet needs a day of activities, reliable walks, or a cozy and calm home-away-from-home, I’ve got you covered.
About: Hi there! I'm here to tell you why you and your pup are going to love welcoming me into your day! I am an outgoing, old soul, with more love for animals than imaginable. Since I can remember, I have always loved and shared my life with dogs. From Candy, my childhood dog (German shep. Doberman mix) who helped raise me, to my very own fur baby, Godiva (pitbull mix), who cuddles up to me every night! It's been a deep passion of mine to be able to improve the life of every dog/animal I come in contact with, and this is no exception to your loving hound. Specializing in all types of breeds and behaviors, there is no pup left behind in my book! Coming from a family who was very accepting of all animals, Ive grown to understand the things that are so important when it comes to animal care. Such as, body language, verbal sounds and reactions, and predicting what a dog may do next. I look forward to meeting you and your best friend! I am currently working a part time job with plan your own schedule hours, which gives me a lot of free time to be able to care for your pets throughout the day or night at any time needed! Nobody knows our pets like we do! I always keep this in mind and be sure to provide any care/ follow cautions provided by owners. Of course all animals will be provided with the best care possible, and that means being sure to cater to each animal how they need!
“Nick went above and beyond while watching our two pups while we were out of town!! They’ve never been so comfortable with a sitter before. Communication was fabulous and he always took the time to send detailed updates and pictures. I would 100% recommend!”
“Sara did a fantastic job dropping in on my Charlie! She provided long walks and snuggles and her communication was top notch. I would definitely recommend Sara to anyone that needs their fur babies well taken care of while they’re away!”
About: I have had dogs all my life. I currently have two golden retrievers who run my world! One is 4 and the other is 8 months old. I am available to stay at your house overnight and during long periods of time. I am a full time ultrasound student in Louisville but my school schedule is very flexible so I can come home to let the pups out multiple times per day! I am currently a full-time sonography student in Louisville, but my class schedule is very flexible. I am also available all weekends. I am able to stay overnight and take your pups out multiple times per day. I have two golden retrievers of my own (they are cared for by my dad when I am gone so they would not be coming with me) and they are SPOILED rotten. I will make sure your pup is the same! I am very active and love going on walks so that would be a part of our daily activities.
“Marissa is an amazing pet sitter! I feel so much more at ease knowing she is coming to see my fur baby Olive. And I know Olive loves her too! She really goes above and beyond!”
“Eleanor took the best care of my baby! She did everything I needed her to do and more, she loved on him and provided him with everything he needed while I was away, thanks to her I was finally able to truly enjoy a vacation knowing my baby was being taken great care of”
About: I’m a lifelong dog lover who has owned a beagle, golden retriever, and most recently our beloved German shepherd. I’ve been dog sitting and walking for over 20 years and truly enjoy spending time outdoors with dogs. I treat every dog like my own and focus on keeping them safe, happy, and well exercised. I work from home, which gives me a flexible schedule and allows me to easily fit pet care into my daily routine. I enjoy getting outside for walks throughout the day, so caring for dogs fits naturally into my schedule. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I make sure to follow their usual routine as closely as possible so their pet feels comfortable and secure. I provide plenty of exercise, attention, and affection, while also making sure they have fresh water, food, and a safe environment. I’m happy to send updates and photos so owners know their pet is doing well.
About: Howdy, I’m Zoë, a recent graduate of Syracuse University. Between my siblings and me, I grew up with almost every pet imaginable, including dogs, cats, fish, rats, chameleons, and an axolotl. I freelance and substitute teach during the school year, but my schedule for the summer is completely open. I update my schedule weekly in case anything comes up. My rule is that I always leave spaces cleaner than I found them. Although I cannot accommodate pets due to my apartment’s rules on pets, I am more than happy to provide for your pets, either in your home or by driving your dog to one of Louisville’s many parks.
“Shaine took care of a feral cat that I have been caring for over the last eight years. Feral cats choose people not the other way around. It was obvious from how close this cat came to Shaine that she is good people. I would recommend Shaine for simple or complicated pet sitting needs.”

Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Prospect stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Prospect choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!
Every sitter on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they are not on the Department of Justice’s National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.
Beyond ID checks, you can review each sitter's star rating, read verified reviews from other pet parents, and see how many repeat clients they have. Every booking is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care. For more details, visit Rover's Trust & Safety page .

A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter or the new environment. During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.
To find sitters in Prospect with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
